He was later reaffirmed in operational leadership roles and, since July 28, 2022, has served as Chief Operating Officer of Wavestone. In that capacity, he contributes to day-to-day execution, strategic implementation, and the management of the group’s ongoing transformation. His career highlights a particularly strong expertise in management consulting, change leadership, and digital environments. His long-standing knowledge of the company, its business lines, and its clients has been a major asset in a sector where growth depends on talent, operational discipline, and the ability to position the firm effectively across markets. He has also played an important role in the company’s structural evolution, from its SoluCom origins to its development under the Wavestone brand. With decades of experience in the same organization, Patrick Hirigoyen represents an executive profile focused on operational delivery, commercial growth, and transformation leadership.
